Bill > HR4349

This bill, known as the "Stop GAPS Act of 2025", aims to modify the responsibilities of the Office of Refugee Resettlement regarding unaccompanied alien children (UACs), which are minors who enter the United States without a parent or legal guardian. Specifically, the bill requires the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement to actively track each UAC who has been released from Department of Homeland Security custody while they are in the United States and involved in ongoing immigration proceedings. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Director collaborate with state governments to find appropriate placements for these unaccompanied children. The bill also instructs the Secretary of Homeland Security to amend existing regulations by removing a specific paragraph (paragraph 6) from section 410.1201(a) of title 45 in the Code of Federal Regulations, though the specific details of what that paragraph contains are not provided in the bill text. The primary goal appears to be improving oversight and support for unaccompanied minors navigating the U.S. immigration system.
